Top three things to fix
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.
Service data ended 817 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).
Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.
Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show buses jumping backwards or mis-order stops.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Equal shape distance diff coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Ready to send to the agency
Hi UTA team, Service data ended 817 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/uta/
NTD certification readiness: Not ready

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
